Creve Coeur, Illinois, is home to Fort Crevecoeur -- the name translates to "Fort Broken Heart" (sounds sad, we know). No, the name isn't derived from soap-opera-worthy love triangles and messy breakups; the French fort was built in 1860 by explorers Rene Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle, and Henri de Tonti as a sign of peace,and the name comes from the trials and tribulations experienced during the build process.
As a suburb of Peoria, the Village of Creve Coeur is considered a part of the Peoria Illinois Metropolitan Statistical Area.

Finding an apartment in Creve Coeur that accepts your pet may not be easy, but it’s very possible. Keep in mind, most of the time you’ll have to pay a premium for bringing your dog along in your new apartment. Some apartments require you to pay monthly pet rent, others will ask for a non-refundable pet fee or a refundable pet deposit.
While landlords and property management companies have varying pet policies, most of them limit the number of dogs you can bring to your apartment and include breed and weight restrictions.
If your pet falls under some of the restrictions outlined in the pet policy, it’s still worth asking the landlord if they can make an exception for your dog. Preparing a pet resume ahead of time could help you build the case for your furry friend. Make sure to include information on behavioral training your dog went through over the years and proof of vaccinations. If you can, include references from your former landlord and/or neighbors.
